Mary Murray Is resolutions committee chairman of the Bilver ton Hills Grange. The group passed the resolution asking permission of the state (range to allow subordinate grang es to have the final say con cerning all Important resolutions brought up for discussion at Stat Grange sessions. As the rules axe now, the State Grange makes all these final decisions. The commit tee feels that the delegates to the State Grange do not understand the situation as the home members do. A second resolution asks the State and National Orange to divide the state of Oregon Into three sections when members of the executive committee are to be chosen, with one from each section and make two terms of service the limit. As It is now the members of the execu tive committee are elected from the state at large. Resolution three urges the Na tional Grange to work In harmony with a balanced cooperation among farm bureaus, farmers' unions and various labor and Industrial groups. Resolution four comes out with the statement that "The state leg islature Is unfair to the schools of Oregon," and asks that the power of the legislature be limited to tne Initiation, only, of all bills concern ing any school question. Number has to do with the Present trend to tenancy farm ing" and asks more consideration lor the farm owner who Is bearing a government debt on his farm. An other section asks the State Grange legislative committee to repeal the law (which the local resolutions committee avers Is unconstitu tional) requiring property qualifi cations for those who vote at school affairs. Resolution No. wants the lime of the State Orange meeting chang ed to the second week in April in stead of in June as la now in force, as this would be a less busy season lor the farmers and diversified crop raisers. The seventh resolution alms di rectly at the United States mone tary system and hasn't much sym pathy for the banking concerns of the nation. It offers a cure for the inflation and deflation demands and the approximate twenty-year hard time series of events In cycles. A suggestion Is offered that will do away with taxes by asking through the State Orange that tne tlnited States congress assume Its constitutional rights "to coin mtnv ey and regulate the value thereof,' by making the monetary board's duty to ascertain varying amounts of goods produced and pay Into cir culation a portion of this for the ex penses of government In lieu of taxation, with the volume of money necessary to maintain a price level that would allow every person who Is willing and able to work, to do BO.
